You are obviously masochistic if yo are using Kmail with IMAP, so you should consider it a pleasure to read the procmail man pages etc. Heck, I think I could probably read all the procmail man pages and rewrite my .procmailrc (and add more features) before Kmail reads the headers in my inbox. Really, try Mozilla on both windows and linux. It's much faster at IMAP, and can do IMAP filtering. And if you really need people to set up procmail filters, it seems the squirrelmail web-based email package has a procmail plugin. I haven't tried it though.
